You will need to create your own local overlay and create a libvdpau ebuild there. But doesn't work for me with the newly merged vdpau and flash.

I guess this patch is outdated, am i right?

nope, worked here with great with latest flash and live vdpau.

is there even a bug about this?

thank you ...I applied the patch. No more avatar people...

BUT, i'm runing gentoo on a 1,6Ghz atom(2Gb ram), so i only get a acceptable performance with booth accelerated rendering AND decoding (puting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg) and flash crashes sometimes with this.

Yeah. I have done that. Anyway.. 11.1 is working good for me. I don't see a compelling reason to upgrade to a broken flash.

Security vulnerabilities aren't a compelling reason? And, as I already said earlier in the thread, the only reason 11.1 works is because it has hardware presentation deactivated.

How about if you set enable_flash_uv_swap=0 in /etc/vdpau_wrapper.cfg? And do you by any chance have EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg?

so what is the alternative? please offer a plugin which supports all aspects and not forces us to install gstreamer._________________Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein

It's already mentioned in the thread. But to repeat it yet again (maybe this time it'll stick)...

10.3 is still maintained. The version currently in portage is vulnerable, but Adobe provides a newer version that isn't.
If 10.3 doesn't work right for you, use 11.2, disable hardware decoding (comment out EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg) and use the libvdpau patch to fix the blue people. Yeah, with that you're without hardware decoding (duh...), but you at least have hardware presentation.

I see two options:
1. Use new flash which *never* works in my case (blue tints)
2. Use old flash which is insecure, but which works (but I don't visit random sites).

Since I tend to not visit any arbitrary sites, I will clearly pick the option that is suitable for me. It doesn't help that some important sites often use flash.

It doesn't seem to help what that variable is set to. I have tried it and it works (with the default settings in /etc/vdpau_wrapper.cfg) when I use my browser as root. But it doesn't work as user. I deleted ~/.adobe and ~/.macromedia to wipe out any user settings, and it still doesn't work.

The file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg does not even have any string containing "EnableLinux" in it.

so if the version in portage is vulnerable, why is it still there?_________________Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein
